1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of burnout and determine the predictive factors among the residents in the three major healthcare specialties in Syria (medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy).

methodsA web-based cross-sectional survey was used to investigate the experienced burnout among residents. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used as a self-reported scale. Seven burnout-related factors were investigated and included in the survey.

resultsThe overall reported prevalence of burnout was 73% (149/204 respondents) in the total sample. Residents in medicine reported the highest values, followed by the residents in dentistry. The residents in pharmacy reported the lowest burnout prevalence. The prevalence was statistically different in selected domains of burnout according to the type of specialty, satisfaction with monthly income, marital status, gender, existence of night shifts, and was inversely correlated with age (p<0.05).

conclusionBurnout rates among Syrian healthcare residents are high and concerning. Residents in medicine reported the highest percentage. Predictive factors should be considered by the directors of every medical program and the residency administrators.
